  1. There are so many red flags in this thing. So now he is going to enroll 6 weeks before the college baseball season starts after playing HS football all fall and try to participate in spring football practice at the same time? So, his freshman year in baseball will basically be a throwaway year, which is a great way to start as someone who is going to try to play both sports at a high level in an era where you rarely see anyone do it.
  2. That travel note is interesting. Galveston to Baton Rouge: About 4 hours 45 minutes Galveston to Austin: About 3 hours 30 minutes Galveston to College Station: About 2 hours 30 minutes Galveston to Eugene: Lol
  3. Not according to Gerry. Baseball in college this coming spring while doing spring football.
  4. It's a decent non-con schedule overall when you factor in who is in the Legends Class (Saint Joseph's, Tech and Syracuse), but there isn't much middle ground between Q1 opponent and one of the worst teams in the country. 4 of the 5 good matchups are away from Moody. No one will get up for that home schedule outside of Uconn but I guess they don't schedule for fans and it's better than last year's non-con home schedule that featured nothing.
  5. You logged into the wrong account @JFKFC
  6. More interested in what they recommended as the "don't miss" local establishments
  7. That doesn't bode well for his chances of being a baseball contributor this year (and maybe ever at Texas). He needs development, and he ain't getting it standing around with the walk-ons during football practice this fall.
  8. I heard he was much more impressive on the mound than with the bat at that tournament, which is interesting because you usually hear more about him as an outfielder. Something that raised my eyebrow is that he tried out for the Area Code team this summer but wasn't selected, and pro scouts put that roster together. Maybe he just had a bad day at the tryout but that is typically an event you need to play in if you are going to be a slam dunk high school selection.
  9. From what I know about him, he is more tools than production right now. He doesn't/hasn't played a ton against high-end competition, and when he has, his bat has apparently been really shaky. But he can really run and is up to 93-94 from the left side on the mound and that will grab the attention of any team. MLB teams have really shied away from investing heavily (day 1 type money) in high schoolers with his type of profile in recent years. I think a 50/50 chance of him making it to campus sounds about right currently, but it honestly may come down to what sport he prefers because the number of guys who play both at a high level in college is basically zero and I don't see Jonah Williams as Kyler Murray. And if he prefers baseball, that might bring the draft more into play because he could be willing to sign for a reasonable amount.
  10. The Athletic with some more details on Canady's decision and how it went down
  11. -Hank South said Nathan Timon is now trending Utah. Announcement coming maybe next week. -Gerry mentioned August 8th as an announcement date for DJ sanders
  12. Ranked #4 in the Liucci 44 (scroll down to #44 for a good laugh) https://texags.com/football-recruiting/liucci-44/2018
  13. Wasn’t it mentioned back in June that Charles and Sharma are close and talked a good bit about playing together?
  14. Gerry made a comment on OTF that made it seem like his mom may not have been completely on board with the Oregon decision.
  15. Antonio Coleman also on campus, per IT https://www.on3.com/db/antonio-coleman-163282/
  16. How we set up the schedule next year will be mighty interesting. Schloss historically scheduled incredibly soft in non-con at A&M because he knew 10 straight weekends of SEC play were awaiting. We already committed to the Globe Life tournament (will play 3 of Clemson, Louisville, Arizona and Okie State) and Vegas tournament (Illinois, Texas Tech, Washington). That leaves 2 non-con weekends open before SEC play. A little birdie also told me that it is looking like Arizona State will be coming to Austin for at least one midweek game. In SEC play, it's already been mentioned that we will host LSU and A&M. I'm assuming we will also host OU and will probably have Arkansas either home or away. So we get those 4 + 6 additional SEC teams. RPI ain't going to be an issue.
